Is there a way any of you can possibly make a YouTube video showing the reissues and talking about them a bit? If so that would be great, and if there are already some posted links would be greatly appreciated!

Freak Out!: Same as the old CDs. The vinyl mix is on MoFo (either version).Absolutely Free: A huge upgrade and a new transfer; the tape shows its age, but whatever. No more reverb!We're Only In It For the Money: Same as the 1995 CD.Lumpy Gravy: Same as the 1995 CD (with the mono glitch, unfortunately).Cruising with Ruben and the Jets: Same as the old CDs. The vinyl mix is on Greasy Love Songs.Uncle Meat: Same as the old CDs (exception: those with the old Zappa Records disc will find this to be a slight upgrade, but any old Ryko would be the same upgrade). The vinyl version has not been on CD.Hot Rats: Reverts to the original vinyl mix for the first time--essential. But keep your old disc for the remix.Burnt Weeny Sandwich: New remaster; eliminates the reverb and restores the "Little House" intro. Get it!Weasels Ripped My Flesh: New remaster, fixing (among other things) the bad right channel. Your old disc (any) is essential for some slightly extended versions.Chungas's Revenge: New remaster. Removes the digital reverb and fixes the right channel. Great!Fillmore East, 1971: New remaster. Removes reverb and echo and restores "Willie the Pimp Pt. 2."Just Another Band from LA: New remaster. Removes reverb and fixes the stereo spectrum.200 Motels: N/A; not yet available (nor obviously planned for release).Over-Nite Sensation: We're not sure yet.Apostrophe: Reverts to the original stereo mix (all non-Au20 CDs are made from the quad mix with added processing). May be the Au20 transfer or may be a new digital transfer.Roxy and Elsewhere: Same as the old CDs. Find a first-version Barking Pumpkin or a Zappa Records CD for the original mix of "Cheepnis," which is replaced here by a remix.One Size Fits All: Probably reverts to the original vinyl version (no added reverb), but we're not sure yet; this may be the Au20 master.Bongo Fury: Not sure yet, but probably reverts to the LP version (no added reverb, fixed right channel).Zoot Allures: New remaster, probably; no more reverb and with the intro to "Disco Boy" restored.Zappa In New York: iTunes samples suggest that this is the same as the previous CDs.Studio Tan: We're not sure yet, but scuttlebutt suggests a new master.Sleep Dirt: New remaster. NO VOCALS, nor any Chad Wackerman. Keep your old disc for the "Hutchentoot" vocal tracks and the Regyptian remix.Sheik Yerbouti: New remaster (we think) that fixes right-channel problems and restores I'm So Cute.Orchestral Favorites: Not sure yet.Joe's Garage: Not sure yet.Tinsel-Town Rebellion: Alleged to be a new master that is more faithful to the original vinyl than the 1998 version. This may be definitive, but we're awaiting a listen.Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar: Uncertain. Reverts to two CDs.You Are What You Is: Alleged to be a new master that is more faithful to the original vinyl (e.g. through segues rather than edits) than the 1998 version. This may be definitive, but we're awaiting a listen.Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch: No info.The Man From Utopia: Clips suggest that this is the same as the remix on the old, non-EMI CDs.Baby Snakes: Uncertain.LSO: This was a digital recording and is probably the same as the 1995 CD. Earlier CDs contained a different mix of the relevant performances.The Perfect Stranger: Not sure yet.Them Or Us: Conditional. Fixes the right-channel audio problems and reverts to the first version of "Them Or Us," but we don't know how it compares to the old Ryko/EMI CDs. Probably worth an upgrade for most people, but hang on to your old disc for the extended "Them Or Us."Thing-Fish: Signs suggest that this is the most "recent" version of the album, so you don't need to purchase this if you have any disc released after 1990.Francesco Zappa: Unsure.Mothers of Prevention: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different (from the 1995, at least; earlier versions were slightly different).Does Humor Belong in Music: Probably the same as the 1995 disc, but with the 1980s cover. Those with only the old EMI disc may want to grab it, as it's a different mix.Jazz from Hell: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Guitar: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different."Stage" Series: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Broadway the Hard Way: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Best Band: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different (although the old Barking Pumpkin and 1995 Ryko had different EQ).Make a Jazz Noise Here: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Playground Psychotics: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Ahead of Their Time: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.The Yellow Shark: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Have I Offended Someone?: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.The Lost Episodes: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.Mystery Disc: Unsure, but unlikely to be any different.
